Had my third shoot with Dave a couple months ago and what a pleasure it was as usual. As per the time went so quickly and we got loads of stuff done even with the limited space we had indoors and freezing cold weather outside. I'm always looking forward to my next shoot with Dave as hes just so awesome and lovely and easy to get along with it's just like having a friend over for a catch up, except he gives me beautiful pictures to keep when he leaves! Couldn't recommend this man enough.

Thanks again Dave, big loves!

Worked with Dave at Image Red today on a concept we've had for some time now.

Quite a "testy" shoot that needed plenty of patience in order to get the results we wanted. Dave as ever had patience in bag fulls!!

He's always chatty and fun when we shoot and conversation just rolls really. He is so open to ideas that I know I can just "throw" anything at him and he'll help me make it happen. We tend to be on the same wave level throughout from the pre-shoot communication right up to the finished results. We joke we can come up with a whole shoot plan in 20 minutes, this isn't really a joke. This is what we do!

So easy to work with. And has become a good friend along the way too.

Thanks for today Dave! And see you probably this time next month to work on our other ideas! Xx

Had the pleasure of Daves company on another shoot... He just never stops amazing me!

I had a shoot set up at a pretty awesome location and last minute had the tog drop out. Dave offered his services and to be frank, I should of just asked him from the start!! So far he's sent fantastic images!!! A mix of our own ideas and some "promotional shots" for the location aswell as a T-shirt company.

During the shoot Dave was his usual chatty self. Respectful, fun... I could go on!!

And of course we bounced ideas around for our next as we've now had a long standing professional relationship as well as a friendship now over the course of a year. He's become my go to tog for ideas and he's never turned me down. If you want someone who can take what you want but also trhrow his own twist and ideas into the mix then Dave is your man!!

Thanks again dude! See you at the end of the month! X

Had the pleasure of working with Mr Ellis twice in one week....

Aren't I the lucky one.... PoZers is always happy to welcome Mr Ellis to the studio for collaborations as he thinks totally out of the box along with the PoZers team. We created a Avante Garde fashion creation styled around art nude, which we all know is Daves forte and he did a phenomenal job of photographing the theme at the studio. The images we have already are amazing and Dave really knows how to get the best from the model every time.

We created a look based on the theme of modelling.... We decorated the beautiful Piper Rose with magazine images of models with unusual and quirky looks and then lettering and wording from the worlds top designers in the fashion industry. Basically it was a model...wearing models.... And magazine sub headings that influence models into the industry.... Out of the box and Mr Ellis was more than happy to shoot our unique creation...

Can't wait to have him back for future projects and really very happy to recommend Dave to anyone in the industry.

Thanks Dave and see you very soon.

Had my first of hopefully many shoots with the amazing mr ellis. Right from the start we got on like a house on fire it was the first time we has met but it felt like meeting a friend 100% comfortable from the get go. Dave picked me up and we went to the amazing pozers studio to work with the awesome pink lady, they both put me completly at ease even though they had both work together previously i was not left out at any time. It was the first time any of us had shot using uv before and dave was a star waiting 8h for application of tape and uv body paint even making coffee for me after a very long night shift. Dave had the lighting sorted in no time considering he had never used them before and the images not only turned out amazingly but i had all edited in less than a week 😊 would definitely shoot with dave again and we are currently ploting many ideas cant wait for the next time xx

It was an absolute pleasure having Dave at our studio for the second time since opening. I have had the pleasure with working with Mr Ellis on several occasions now as a makeup artist and now a studio owner, and it's always a pleasure to be in his company. Not only is he an absolute gentleman through and through he is a phenomenal photographer and editor and I've always been a huge fan of his work and love his style of imagery. Dave is such a pleasure to work with, he knows what he's looking for in his shot and gets it quickly and efficiently. This shoot in particular took virtually ten times longer to create that's it did to shoot, but after 7 hours creating the U.V. Body paint and tape dress in one hit, it was phenomenal to have every image, pose and stance we wanted in a short period of time. Dave loves to be experimental with his work and that's just what we love to create at PoZers and I can't wait to work with him once again very soon. I really can't recommend Dave enough to any model, as he is a true gentleman and really looks after his models, he is fabulous in any studio and really knows his stuff and as for working with a makeup artist, Dave will make your job an absolute dream. Five star rating for a five star gentleman. Look forward to shooting with Dave sometime soon, thank you Mr Ellis. Best wishes.

I had my first shoot with Dave today and it was incredible.

The pre comms were fab and we discussed the ideas that we had to get the right look we were after.

Dave arrived on time and ready to go.

He is an absolute delight to work with. Professional with a great sense of humour and easy to get on with. I felt at ease straight away and felt the ideas that we wanted just flow despite the cold on location.

Having already had an image back I can say Im absolutely delighted and just know the rest will be far beyond what I expect :-D

I highly recommend Dave and really look forward to shooting again real soon :-D

Thank you for an incredible day :-D

I've worked with Dave so much now that I always just know our results will be fantastic and exactly what we want to achieve.

Today we did two separate sets, studio and then onto location. Dave can easily adjust and get the best out of both settings.

He is always highly respectful, easy to work with, can direct making sure what I am doing is reaching full potential but Is also happy to let me freely do my thing. We always laugh while working together, we have amazing times!

Seriously looking forward to seeing the finished results. I already know I will be far from disappointed.

Thank you Dave! Can't wait for our next one xx

I worked with Dave on a shoot that had multiple locations and themes. His ideas and professionalism really helped me in my job to get the make up spot on for the different looks we were trying to achieve. I would definitely recommend Dave as he is an all round good and professional photographer.

PoZersPhotography

Was absolutely fabulous that Dave came to shoot our stunning in-house model, Piper Rose. Dave knows his way around the studio and made use of all the equipment, backdrops etc for his High-key shoot. The images say it all and was absolutely over the moon he shared it with us at the studio. Can highly recommend Mr Ellis as someone who is reliable, honest, and professional at all times and he is welcome to PoZers anytime. Really can't wait until we collaborate again as the images have been phenomenal for our promotions etc. of Piper Rose our beautiful model.

Another really exciting shoot with the fabulous Mr Ellis...

It's been a while since we worked together solely not for the want of trying...

Two busy people with busy schedules but we made it happen and we are already planning the next one very soon...

Davies work is stunning and his portfolio speaks for itself... Today's shoot was High Key with one of my favourite models and so far the images have been phenomenal...

I love working with Dave because he never hold me back and his creativity is right up my street...

We have a really exciting project coming up soon and I really can't wait to work with Dave again... In fact I could work with Mr Ellis forever and never get bored... He knows his stuff... Gets his shot... Doesn't faff about and knows exactly what he wants from his model... To make things even more perfect, Dave is a perfect gent and treats every single model with total respect... Mr Ellis is a star and don't miss on shooting with this man... Perfection and harmony...

Well what can I say;

Had an amazing first shoot with Dave on Friday at Pozers Studio in Cricklade, have been wanting to work this fantastic photographer for so long & finally had the privilege!

Dave knows exactly what he wants from model & a shoot, pre-shoot comms were fabulous along with some fantastic ideas !

Dave is a very professional photographer and arrived early at the studio, I immediately felt relaxed which resulted in some fabulous images !

I shall definitely be shooting with Dave again in the very near future ,he comes very highly recommended..

Thank you for an amazing shoot,see you soon !!

**apologies on a late reference here**

Dave... amazing guy. Love our shoots. Love the energy and enthusiasm he always puts in. Love Dave!!

We set ourselves another challenge of getting at least two very different sets from one shoot. More ideas followed all the way through but sadly as day light isn't on our side this time of year we didn't get everything done. Ofcourse this just means we will shoot again so can't complain!!

First set - low key art nude. Something I've wanted to work on for awhile and we smashed it! Dave was patient, attentive, respectful. Just perfect!

Second set - urbex surreal type thingy thing. Not sure how we even stumbled onto this idea but like all we have, it was one of those you go with and great awesome results from! Dave was wonderful again, patient while I found my feet and tried not to fall down any holes. Even more patient when Mr Ghosty kept switching the flash off! He kept the pace going and made it stupidly easy to push through :)

Can't wait for our next one! Merry Christmas X

Had a wonderful first shoot with Dave at my studio day held at the Pit. Dave was professional, friendly and generally a nice person to be around.

Whilst shooting Dave allowed to move from pose to pose freely only giving directions when needed. Dave also, through out the shoot, was full of enthusiasm and had very imaginative ideas.

In a short space of time we managed to get through a variety of different sets and the results I have seen so far are fantastic.

Really Hope we are able to work together again in the future.

Very highly recommended!

Anna:)

Had my 3rd shoot with Dave and as usual it was great fun!

Dave is a really lovely respectful guy who's fun to work with, we always chat far too much but get great results too!

Dave has a keen eye for a shot & is always full of ideas, he works really hard and the results speak for themselves.

Highly recommended

Did my second shoot with Dave last week and what an awesome day and night it was. We got so much done despite my worry that I'd run out of inspo with it being my first non location shoot. How silly I was to worry!

Dave was awesome, constantly giving good feedback and direction and advice, which I'm very thankful for, you can tell he knows his stuff and I feel we have a very good working relationship already despite the short time I've known him. I felt comfortable and the creative vibes were flowing, as was the tea and coffee. He also is very good at post shoot updates and his timeliness of receiving edits back is impeccable.

His work is some of my favourite and I'm proud to be a part of his portfolio.

Very very highly recommended, I can't wait for our next shoot :)

Thanks again Dave!

Shot with Dave at The Pit. We've shot soooo many times now that our shoots really do just fall together with minimal effort in planning as as soon as one of us mentions an idea or two, the other just seems to "get it".

So, we set ourselves a good challenge to get some arty stuff and abit of erotica and we jumped straight in and managed to get the first 2 sets done very quickly! 1 set didn't quite work but it's just something we'll circle back to at some point... Another excuse for a shoot!

Dave is always just amazing!! Patient, especially as I took lots of "warm up" breaks as it was cold. He's chatty and funny so shopping with him is never dull! He was also hugely respectful as I tried out more "revealing" poses.

Shooting with Dave is just an all round brilliant experience and I can't see us stopping any time soon!

Thanks Dave!! Was totally epic xx

Dave very kindly booked me again- this time at Full Moon Studios for one of my Charity Studio days! It was only a short shoot but full of laughter, banter and fun! Dave is a great character to work with- professional but fun and down to earth, I always enjoy shooting together! He also bought along some super cool props, such as Angel Wings which were great fun to work and pose with!

I loved the results we achieved together and would highly recommend to all models, Dave is so lovely! Thankyou so much for supporting the charity day and really hope to work together again soon! Helen x

So me and dave have shot together ALOT but it was when I first started out.. Havent shot together for well over a year. And oh my god I've missed our shoots. Dave is such a creative person and its great to see how much he's improved with his photography

We had a few ideas to go with, and a few mood boards as well - and I believe we got some absolutely Amazing images.

We shot up to nude, and I felt 100% comfortable and safe around him. Highly recommended photographer

Me and dave will be working together again!
